UK & home countries’ travel insurance.

Take no risks with your UK travel plans

Have a relaxing holiday in the UK, knowing your travel insurance will cover you if something goes wrong.

Even if you’re only travelling in the UK, having travel insurance is important. Don’t be left out of pocket!

Our UK travel insurance covers you if you’re going away for a minimum of two consecutive nights in pre-paid accommodation.

Home country cover includes the following destinations:

• England
• Scotland
• Wales
• Northern Ireland
• Jersey
• The Isle of Man

If you’re planning on travelling to Guernsey, you will have the same cover as if you were travelling to anywhere else in Europe.

How UK travel insurance makes you feel safer

Having personalised UK travel insurance in place means you’re protected for your holiday even before you leave the comfort of home.

When an unexpected illness meant Richard¹ had to postpone his trip to celebrate his golden wedding anniversary, he described the support he received from Avanti as ‘terrific’.

In early 2019, he called us to let us know that he had a new health condition. His new condition was added to his policy so Richard could go ahead and rebook his holiday just a few days later.

By keeping us up-to-date with any changes to your health conditions, you can relax, safe in the knowledge you’re covered from the start. With Avanti, when we say your health conditions are covered – they’re covered.

What does UK travel insurance cover me for?

As well as lost baggage and personal possessions, your UK travel insurance policy will also cover you should you have to cancel or cut your holiday short due to a medical emergency.

While any emergency medical treatment will be covered by the NHS within the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island) our travel insurance can help to transfer you to a hospital closer to home for you be nearer to friends and family. This can be valuable if you’re admitted to a hospital in a different country and need to make your way home by plane.

If you have a medical emergency while you’re on holiday in the UK, the NHS and strong Reciprocal Healthcare Agreements (RHA) will mean you won’t need to pay any medical fees.

But travel insurance for the UK is still important to help fly you back home if necessary, if you’re stranded in a different country.

Should I buy a Single Trip policy or Annual Multi-Trip policy?

The choice is completely yours.

Our Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance policy is great if you’re planning to go away more often – in the UK or further afield – you get cover for 12 months which means you could be covered for any last minute trips just as long as you aren’t away more than 183 days in a year.

It could also work out better value for money compared to buying several single trip policies.

A single trip policy is perfect for one holiday or trip abroad, or somewhere a little closer to home. Cancellation cover starts as soon as you take out the policy, just as long as you have two or more nights pre-booked accommodation when staying in the UK.
